Hail I Brookline, home to thee, 
Thy 'sons with joy we see 

Return to-day. 
From far and near they throng, 
Friends who've been parted long, 
Chanting thy praise with song 

And joyful lay. 

One hundred years have fled, 
Since first our fatliers sped 

Their prayers to heaven ; 
Asking that light sublmie 
O'er their dark paths might shine ; 
God heard ;— the gift divine 

To them was given. 

Let us, their children, now 
In adoration bow 

To God above. 
Praising His mighty power. 
Whose goodness deigned to shower 
O'er them, in danger's hour. 

Protecting love. 

And when an hundred years 
Again— with hopes and fears. 

Have passed away; 
May our descendants here. 
Our memories revere. 
Who greet with joy smcere,

Though to-day we meet in gladness, 
Back o'er distant years to roam, 
Many hearts are tilled with sadness. 
Lingering near the early home. 
But, though death full o'ft hath taken 
Well known faces, we have loved, 
Sweet the memories they awaken. 
Sweet the thought,— they rest above.

TlTNE :— Antioch. 

A hundred years ago to-day I 

VVliere wild beasts i-oaraed at will, 

The brave man's bold and fearless stroke, 

As towering forests fell, 

Silenced the Savage yell, 

And on the deep grand stillness broke. 

Rude homes arose, and wildness fled — 

The tields with plenty smiled — 

Blessings of peace distilled like dew, 

While every man and child 

With busy "hand beguiled 

A life, so simple, free, and true. 

So year by year, new mercies ci-owned 
Those quiet homes and blest. 
So one by one, in silence passed 
To find a sweeter rest. 
Where toil, nor care molest. 
And noble life is crowned at last. 

Our fathers' memory honored be ! 

While here from far and wide. 

The sons and daughters willing come 

To laud with honest pride. 

And view on every side 

Glad scenes that cheer our natal home. 



We boast a river flowing ft-ee, 
In busy service found 
Of "Tanapus" so smooth and bright, 
Where festive scenes abound, 
And echoing sports resound. 
Waking the hills to life and light I 

Behold we now the bus y streets I 

Where tasteful dwellirgs are I 

And school-rooms rich in proffered lore I 

While pealing on the air. 

The church bells call to prayer— 

To worship God— the God of yore. 

Down, down, with swift and stealing ti-ead 

The circling years have run, 

And strown fresh benefits around. 

Our victories yearly won- 

The conquests well begun — 

We celebrate with joyful sound 1 



After the exercises at the grove, the Procession will reform and 
proceed to the Tent to partake of the Centennial Dinner provided 
for the occasion by James W. Fessenden. After the Dinner, there 
will be short speeches by citizens and natives of the town, inter- 
spersed with vocal and instrumental music.

The foregoing was the programme for the occasion. The man- 
ner in which it was carried out is thus described in the " Union 
Democrat" of Manchester, N. FI. : 

"The meeting had organized, and our first business was to find 
it. We were directed to a hill overlooking the beautiful village 
Ascending this we came to one of the rarest topographical phenom- 
ena we have ever seen. This conical hill is merely the shell of a 
circular basin set in its top, like an old fashioned mortar, for all the 
world, A handsome growth of oaks shaded the inner surface, and 
the Brookliners had adroitly availed themselves of this natural am- 
pitheatre, as the place of their literary festivities. He^'e we found 
upon one side a substantial and ample platform for the officers, 
speakers, reporters, band, choir, etc., and circling around it, within 
easy hearing, an audience of perhaps 3000 people. Nothing could 
possibly be more convenient and attractive." ^ 

* * -jf * * 

"The orator was I. B. Sawtelle, Esq., a native of Brookline,but 
now residing inTownsend, Mass. We have ample notes of the last 
half, but any abstract which our limits will allow, would not only be 
unsatisfactory to the reader but unjust to the speaker. Its topics 
were necessarily of local interest, but they were treated with con- 
summate skill and ability. The address embodied what may be 
called the domestic history of the town, political, religious and ma- 
terial, and jnust have cost a great deal of plodding research, and 
patient, unflagging industry. The ci<"izens of Brookline, we are sure, 
are greatly indebted to Mr. Sawtelle for gathering up these frag- 
mentary records and traditions and putting them in convenient f )rm 
for transmission to their posterity. Of course, this address will be 
published, and we predict that it will be accepted by the public as 
one of the very best of the current series." 

***** 

'' The Occasional Poem was by E. E. Parker, a Brooklinite just 
from Dartmouth. It will be remembered that he was the Centennial 
Poet of his Alma Mater, an honor which only rare poetic genius could 
hope to attain. Whatever laurels he may have won on that occa- 
sion — and they were many and still green — will receive a generous 
accession here. We hardly know which most to admire the skill of 
the poet or the wit of the humorist." 



" After the Poem came the Chronicles by Rev. T. P. Sawin of 
this city. This style of writing affords fine scope for quiet and ge- 
nial humor, and Mr, Sawin had embodied the ecclesiastical history of 
the Rabians in the quaint vernacular of the Mosaic period, when the 
first mishap of the occasion occurred. A cloud came up abruptly 
and threatened to empty its contents into the little basin occupied 
by the meeting. A few big pattering drops created an instant and 
enormous stampede, and the bugle essayed in vain to recall the scat- 
tered fugitives. So Mr, Sawin's ingenious and very acceptable pro- 
duction was '' parted in the middle." " 



" There was a spontaneous and irrepressible movement to the 
big tent "stand not on the order of your going, but only go." 
Here was found one of the most elegant and appetizing " spreads" 
we ever saw. Plates were laid for some seven or eight hundred, 
and the daintiest connoisseur could scarcely have excelled the mit 
ensemble of this physical entertainment. The long tables, eight in 
number, were neatly covered, and loaded with the contributions of 
all elements and all latitudes. The seats were clean and safe — not- 
withstanding the suggestion of gun powder plots in the kegs upon 
which they were based. We venture to say, no better dinner was 
ever provided for a similar occasion, whether we regard quantity, 
quality, or style. Mr. James VV. Fessenden of the Brookline Hotel 
was fhc caterer; and we cannot help saying just here, that his vi- 
ands were all the better for the skill with which they were served ; 
for his rich bouquets, and plump and luscious fruits had rivals in the 
fitting forms that moved among them." 

. The storm was so severe that it was impossible to hear and en- 
joy the sentiments read by the toast master. The rain beat on the 
tent so hard that the responses and speeches could not be heard.

OP THE 



PRESIDENT OF THE DAY, ALONZO BAILEY, ESQ. 



• > ♦ » ♦ 



My Townsmen and Friends : It becomes my pleasant duty to 
welcome you to that " feast of reason and flow of soul" that may be 
enjoyed on this occasion. 

We meet here to-day to celebrate the 100th birth day of our 
good old Mother Brookline. I call her old, but she bears her age 
remarkably well and bids fair to survive the roll of time for many 
centuries to come. 

It is good for children and friends to assemble under the old 
family roof to commemorate their parental birth day in social com- 
munion. 

It is with something of the same feeling that we meet here to- 
day to looic into familiar faces, to give one and another a cordial 
shake of the hand. It does us who live on the old familiar spot 
good to welcome our friends as they return from abroad, and we 
hope it does them no less good to come and unite with us in the 
festivities of the day. 

We have no marked natural attractions, such as Mountains, 
Grottos or Cataracts, nor any wonders of art to call our friends, 
but there has been to many and now are to some, objects of great 
interest. 

New York City, the great metropolis of America, has its one 
Cooper's Institute. We can show you matiy Cooper's Institutes, 
where the coopers with their implements can outvie in noise the 
clamerous tongues ot the Orators of the New York Institute. 

The trees of our forests compare but feebly with their gigantic 
cousins near the Pacific coast, neither does our rough, hard soil 
compare with the deep, rich laden mines of the West, but it requires 
the energies and perseverance of the New England men to bring 
out and develop the resources of that country. And we claim a 
share of those men for Brookline.

It is customary for Mechanics to exhibit a sign at their shops 
signifying what trade is carried on within. For instance, a shoema- 
ker hangs out a shoe, a watchmaker a watch at the window, and 
a cooper a heap of shavings at the door. And away up in Fran- 
conia Notch the AlmiL!,hty has hung out the Man of the Mountain, 
signifying that in New Hampshire he makes men. Brookline, a sis- 
ter in the pleasant family of New Hampshire, claims as her most 
valuable production Men and Women, and she claims as healthy 
sons and as fair daughters as any sister in the State. Do you 
doubt it ? Look around upon the audience before you and see if 
she is not right. 

One hundred years have passed since the inauguration of this 
town. One Imndred years, the most eventful that ever checkered 
the historian's page. One hundred years ago Brookline, with all 
the New England colonies acknowledged allegiance to King George 
in. and proudly boasted the best government in the world. But 
Old England in the majesty of her acknowledged power became 
oppressive to her colonial subjects. They rebelled. 

Then came the war for Independence, and when her colonial 
subjects petitioned to that higher Power for aid in their struggle, 
they descried in the Heavens the emblem of Liberty and Equality 
for which they thanked G-od and took courage. And under the 
shade of the Star Spangled Banner they fought for their rights to a 
successful issue. 

A territory now as large as all Europe owes its allegiance to 
that tri colored flag and this territory resounds throughout its vast 
extent with the industries of a Great Nation. 

However small her territory, however few her people, Brook- 
line has ever rejoiced that she did her full share in obtaining her 
independence and in sustaining her Country's honor and her glori- 
ous institutions. On this day we are with united hearts thanivful 
that peace reigns throughout this vast domain and that the future is 
so bright for Brookline and for America. 

Once more in the name ot my Townsmen I extend a welcome 
to all the sons of Brookline, whether native or adopted, and to all 
others assemoled here to-day, I extend a hearty welcome, hoping 
your anticipations will be lully realized. 



ORATION. 



The changes occasioned by the lapse of time are replete with 
instruction. There never were any two periods, either before or 
since man's creation, that even the earth itself presented the same 
appearance. Continents have received new indentations ; ocean 
currents have taken new directions and islands have been thrown 
to the surface of mid ocean by those " wrecking fires which wait 
the archangels signal to dissolve the solid earth." The dominion 
of man ends where the ocean begins. He can erect no monument 
on its crested wave — can leave no vestige to mark the spot where 
the armaments of angry nations contended in mortal combat. The 
same unbroken anthem swells onward from its deep abyss that greet- 
ed the morning stars " when first they sang o'er young creation's 
birth." But man, the mechanic, with instrument in hand has left 
his trace on the contour of the land by excavating hills, tunnelling 
mountains, felling forests and building cities. What a beautiful 
prospect there must have been from the summit of Monadnock two 
hundred years ago. Green mountain slopes —green intervales — 
green forests from horizon to horizon ; many beautiful lakes and 
small ponds glistened in the sun. Turning westward might have 
been seen flowing at intervals the placid waters of the Connecticut. 
The smoke just descried through the tree tops near the banks of 
the river, indicated the spot where the squaws were cultivating corn 
for the red man who was far away on the revengeful war path. On 
the North the unexploi-ed spurs of the White mountains stood out 
in bold relief against the sky, as though they were performing picket 
duty for that mighty mountain range which has battled with the 
storms and tempests of ages. Towards the ocean this boundless 
prospect of green forests was unbroken till perchance the eye caught 
the hazy wreath of vapor which hovered near the coast of Massa- 



12 

chusetts bay. How beautiful the forests that then covered these 
hills. What a panorama might have been seen at that time. Then 
all was natural save where the Indian had made his camp fires and 
planted his scanty allowance of corn. Then this whole region was 
the hunting grounds of the Indian. His council fires burned along 
the frontier of our infant settlements and none but our fathers would 
have dared to contend with these merciless savages. More than a 
century ago our ancestors penetrated the then unbroken forest and 
commenced a settlement in this unpromising locality. It is to com- 
memorate the settlement of this town and in a proper manner to 
celebrate the 100th anniversary of our incorporation that has caus- 
ed this assembly. Why should we not celebrate this anniversary ? 
Although there may not be in the history of our town much that we 
can boast of, yet, there is as little, perhaps, as in most other places 
of equal advantages, to be ashamed of I see those in this audi- 
ence who honor Beookline as their birth place that have made them- 
selves homes elsewhere. Some of you are the business men of 
other towns. Some of you come from the bustle and excitement of 
city life, and some of you have come from distant lands where you 
have tried your fortunes, to look once more into the faces that were 
familiar to your childhood, to grasp the hands of your former play- 
mates. We bid you welcome to the pleasures and festivities of 
this occasion. May I not be permitted to say on your behalf, that, 
during all our wanderings, during the perplexities of business and 
the anxieties incident to this life, that we have turned from them all 
with pleasure to the sunny childhood we passed in this quiet little 
town ? Our native hills were mountains to us then. Then Tana- 
pus pond was superior to Lake Superior. Saint Peters church 
could not strike us with such awful solemnity as did the old meet- 
ing house on the hill, when after the invocations, the seats fell down 
to their places with a noise " like the voice of many waters." The 
district school where we struggled for the head of the class was 
our Alma Mater. In those days the 4th of July was celebrated ' ' in 
ample form." Nothing could exceed the pleasures enjoyed on the 
manual thanksgiving day. Beautiful are these childhood reminis- 



13 

cences. We come here once more to exchange our friendly greet- 
ings, to turn to the pleasant associations of the past, to look once 
more on the natural scenery towards which we first formed an at- 
tachment, to notice the changes that time has wrought in the form 
and faces of those who were once our school mates. 

The township of Buookline has been constituted, at different 
times from no less than five distinct portions of territory ; each of 
which will require a description at this point. We would natural- 
ly suppose that there was vacant land enough in one body in this 
sterile, rockbound region from which so small a town as ours might 
have been carved out. But it was reserved for this place to be 
made up of a part of Hollis* ; a portion of " Groton West Parish," 
now Pepperell ; the north part of Townsend, and the south end of 
" The Mile Slip." 

When the town of Raby was incorporated it was thus in part, 
described in the Charter: " Heginningat a stake and stones, in the 
south side line in the town of HoUis, which is also the province 
line, which stake stands about two miles due east from the south 
west course of said Hollis ,• thence running north by the needle 
across the said town to one other stake and stones, standing in the 
north side line of said Hollis ; leaving the meeting house in the 
middle between this side line and the east side line of Hollis." 
Here we find a portion of territory from Hollis of a parallelogramic 
form, the short sides of which were about two miles long and the 
long sides co.extensive with the entire length of Hollis ; equal to 
about ten square miles. 

The phraseology of the charter, entirely superfluous so far as 
granting a valid title is concerned, "leaving the meeting house in the 
middle between this side line and the east side line of said Hollis" 
goes to show that the grantors or people who remained in the pa- 
rent town not only had a taste for symmetry and order, but that they 
appreciated their social and religious advantages. They felt per- 

*HolUs was incorporated in 1746. The Indian name of Hollis was Nissitissit, which 
means in the Indian language "The place of two rivers." The two rivers alUidud tn were 
probably the Xaslma, which rnns across the soutlieast corner of tlie town, and the Ni-siiis- 
sit, which ran through the southwest corner of the town. Tlie Xissitissit river took its 
name from the town of Nissitissit. 



14 

haps that if these toils were unremitting, their taxes were burden- 
some, if the? had "no goodly heritage" that certainly their "lines 
had fallen in pleasant places." Freedom of conscience and freedom 
of speech was the priceless boon sought by the settlers of our pleas- 
ant New England. A few years after the landing of the Plymouth 
settlers, men of a more venturesome and avaricious spirit explored 
the country around, and founded new plantations. The rich lands 
in the valley of the Merrimack then occupied by the Indians were 
much coveted by the English settlers soon after its discovery by 
Champlain. Its head lake to the Red Man was as beautiful as " the 
smile of the Great Spirit." The aborigines were dependant on their 
numerous fisheries on this river for much of their living. Their 
cornfields dotted the valleys ot the Merrimack — the Nashua — the 
Souhegan, meanwhile the march of civilization pointed towards their 
pleasant valleys. In 1655, Chelmsford and Groton had settlements. 
On the 26th of October, 1673, in compliance with the petition of 
Thomas Brattle, Jonathan Tyng, Joseph Wheeler and twenty-three 
others, "The General Court held in Boston" granted a charter to 
the town of Dunstable of which Brookline was once the extreme 
western part. It may be pertinent to remark that Thomas Brattle, 
first grantee above, was a large laud holder in what is now Dunsta- 
ble, Mass., and ever from the settlement of the boundary line be- 
tween New Hampshire and Massachusetts in 1741 up to 1837, the 
time the town of Dunstable was changed to Nashua, Dunstable, 
Mass., was commonly called "Brattles End, Dunstable." Jonathan 
Tyng also furnished a name for his part of Dunstable which is now 
Tyngsboro. The Township of Dunstable contained about two hun- 
di'ed square miles; it was in the County of Middlesex. It included 
the towns of Nashua, Hudson, Hollis, Dunstable and Tyngsboro, be. 
sides parts of the towns of Amherst, Mil lord, Merrimac, Litchfield 
Londondery, Pelham, Pepperell, Townsend and Brookline. Its 
lines were perambulated iu 1734. The northwest corner was a 
great pine near the Souhegan river on " Dram Cup Hill," in the 
northwest part of Milford. Its westerly line ran "due south" and 
passed " near the west end of Muscatanapus pond" in Brookline. 



15 

Muscatanapus signifies in the Indian " The pond of the bears." The 
corner ofMethuen and Dracut was its southeast corner. The south, 
west corner may be found in our town in a due south direction 
from '-'Dram Cup Hill" by the west end of Muscatanapus pond to a 
point about one mile distant from the state line. Its northeast cor- 
ner was at a great rock easterly of the mouth of the Souhegan river 
in the town of Londonderry. The east line of Mason granted by 
the Masonian proprietors in 1 749 was parallel with the west line 
of Hollis, which line was the west line of ''Old Dunstable" and one 
mile distant from the same. There was then a tract of land one 
mile wide, between these towns, running from the state line to the 
Souhegan river which had never been embraced within the limits 
of any town. This narrow belt of land was known by the name of 
the "Mile slip" a part of which was merged in this town by the 
act of incorporation in 1769. The north end of "The Mile Slip" 
thus " left out in the cold," contained some brave and hardy settlers 
who furnished their quota of men for the revolutionary war. From 
the north end of the " Mile Slip," " Charlestown School Farm," 
" Duxbury Farm," a part of Amherst, a portion of Holjis, and a 
square mile from the northwest corner of Raby, Milford was made 
up and incorporated in 1794. From the beginning of the last cen- 
tury to 1740 there were many bitter controversies concerning the 
Province line between New Hampshire and Massachusetts. There 
was at this time in the Colony a clique of land speculators and po- 
litical intriguers. They were enemies both ol Governor Belcher 
and the settlers ; their whole aim being personal aggrandisement. 
About 1738 John T. Mason, a relative of Capt. John Mason, ar- 
rived at majority. Owners of lands both in the province of New 
Hampshire and Massachusetts were exceedingly anxious about the 
fixing of this boundary line. The validity of the titles to these lands 
was the exciting topic, some claiming under Mason's grant and 
some from the " General Court' at Boston. Thus "great interests 
were at stake and strong passions excited." Mason's grant from 
Plymouth Council in 1621 had for its northern boundary " The 
River Merrimack to the head waters thereof." In 1052 Massachu- 



16 

setts sent Commissioners who had a retinue of Indian guides, to- 
gether with two surveyors, one of which was a student at Harvard 
College, to find the head waters of this river. They made a report 
to their government that the outlet of Winnepesaukie Lake in Lati- 
tude 43deg. 40min. 12sec. was the =' northermost part" of Merri- 
mack river. The Colony of Massachusetts Bay by their General 
Court decided in 1652 that the extent of their northern line was 
<'from the northermost part of the river Merrimack, and three miles 
more north, where it may be found, and thence upon a straight line, 
east and west to either sea." This was a line more liberal than the 
descendants of the settlers of Massachusetts colony were able to 
maintain. The impression was probably of those who made this 
boundary that the Merrimack river ran nearly east. Finally on the 
5th of March, 1740, this whole matter was settled by His Majesty 
in council. It was decided that " the northern boundary line of the 
province of Massachusetts be a line pursuing the course of the Mer- 
mack river at three miles distant on the north side thereof, begin- 
ning at tlie Atlantic ocean and ending at a point due north of Paw- 
tucket Falls ; and a straight line drawn from thence due west, till 
it meets with His Majesty's otiier governments. This boundary 
thus settled on the principles of good sense and sound judgment 
was very satisfactory to the province of New Hampshire. It gave 
about seven hundred and fifty square miles of land more to New 
Hampshire than was ever claimed by this province in which were 
twenty -eight townships already chartered and settled. In 1741 
when this line was run it passed just south of their meeting house in 
Dunstable, leaving the meeting house in New Hampshire and the 
grave yard in Massachusetts. This was a source of much grief to 
its inhabitants and retarded the progress of the town considerably. 
Groton and Townsend both received grants of land in considera- 
tion for their dismemberment by the running of this new line. Hol- 
lis then acquired from Groton and Townsend a tract of land abotit 
a mile wide, running the whole length of the town on its south side, 
the west end of which is now Brookline. In 1786 a portion of 
land three-fourths of a mile wide was taken from the town of Hoi 



17 

lis and added to the territorial limits of the town of Brookline. 

The civil history of Brookline is as \aiicgatcd as the topo 
graphical character of the town. The earliest trace of any claim 
of ownership in the territory and soil of the township of Brookline 
is found in connection with that part of its territory acquired from 
Townsend by the running: of the province line in 1741. Townsend 
was incorporated in 1732. The petitioners for their charter in- 
form the General Court at Boston that the "town is completely fill- 
ed with inhabitants." 

The )2;rantees and proprietors of that town with much shrewd- 
ness had the town accurately surveyed and plotted, public points 
delineated, roads laid out on paper, and everything; prof^ressinf? so 
far as sales of land were concerned, soon after they came in pos- 
session. This accounts for the sporadical character of its settle- 
ments and explains the language of the petitioners for an act of 
incorporation ; the words " completely filled with inhabitants, " 
meaning that there were settlements in most parts of the town. 
From the Townsend proprietor's records the facts are learned that 
in 1734 a man by the name of Jasher Wyman purchased of the 
above proprietors a tract of land then in Townsend, and settled 
near where the old house stands on the hill, easterly of Ball & 
Smith's mill. This old house stands near the northeast corner of 
the land bought by this settler which is described in the titles to 
the land adjoining, bought soon after, as "Jasher Wyman's mill lot." 
The travelled road now at the easterly side of the lot was laid out 
about five years- before Wyman settled here. Jasher Wyman was 
the clerk of the proprietors of Townsend for many years. His 
chirography in the records indicates both taste and scholarship, — 
The record of deaths in Townsend shows that he had five children, 
one of which probably was the first child of European descent born 
in the town of Brookline. He held the most important offices of 
Townsend, and even after the running of the province line left him 
out of his favorite town, he still continued to hold the office of clerk 
for the Townsend proprietors. In the latter part of his life he 
3 



18 

disposed of his land and mill then in Hollis, now in Brookline, and 
moved back to Townsend where both he and his wife departed this 
life at about the same time in 1757. Thus the pioneer settler of 
the northern part of Townsend, unintentionally became the first 
settler of the township of Brookline. A man by the name of Far- 
rer and Thomas Apstin soon after bought and settled the lands 
near this place where Wyman lived, and when this part of Towns- 
end became apart of Hollis, in 1741 it contained probably three 
or four families clustered around in their log houses. The next 
settlement in this town was made in 1740 by three brothers by the 
name of McDonald who were Scotch Irish people. About the time 
the pilgrims emigrated to Plymouth, considerable numbers of Scotch 
Presbyterians, influenced by similar reasons, crossed the Irish sea 
and planted themselves in the northern part of Ireland in the 
counties of Londonderry and Antrim. Hence the name "■Scotch Irish J^ 
Two of these brothers had families. Their christian names were 
Randall, Joseph and James. They were men of real masculine 
type, tall, well proportioned and capable of great physical endur- 
ance. Randall McDonald settled on the east road leading from 
Brookline village to Milford, where the Hollis road forms a connec- 
tion. His brothers owned and occupied the lands at the north and 
northeast of his farm. They came here ten years after the first set- 
tlement in Hollis. The prospects of these pioneers of civilization 
in this part of the town must have been discouraging in the extreme. 
Surrounded by an unbroken, howling wilderness ; remote from their 
neighbors at the eastward, who had settled on more genial soils 
and eligible localities ; deprived of all that we consider the luxu- 
ries and almost the necessities of life ; we behold them leaving 
their log cabins on a sabbath morning and pursuing their path des- 
ignated by marked trees, to the little "meeting house" in Hollis. — 
They periled all in order to enjoy freedom of conscience by their 
own hearth stones. They exemplified the fact that there are no 
discouragements so depressing, no difficulties so perplexing, no ob- 
stacle so great but that may all be overcome by the clear head and 
determined will of man. 



19 

Randall McDonald died in 1752, leaving a widow, and was 
buried on his own land about half a mile at the southeast of his 
house, where, with four or five other graves marked by the pres- 
ence of rough granite stones, the spot may still be seen. Joseph 
McDonald, never fully satisfied with frontier life, and grieved at 
the loss of his brother, sold out his estate a few years after and 
returned to the land of his birth, James McDonald, the progeni- 
tor of those bearing his name here in Brookline, • remained. The 
names of the children of James McDonald and Susanna his wife are 
Rosanna McDonald, born July 19, 1752; Randall McDonald, April 
14, 1754; Susanna McDonald, February 18, 1756; Lucy McDon- 
ald, February 8, 1758; Mary McDonald, April 5, 1760; Elizabeth 
McDonald, November 20, 1762; James McDonald, January 19, 
1764, and John McDonald, June 5, 1766. James McDonald, the 
father of this family of eight children, the earliest settler, died 
April 11, 1801, aged 84 years. 

In reviewing the times to which the events just described be- 
long, we are forcibly reminded of the worth there was in the char- 
acter of the people. The interest of one was an interest common 
to all. The surface of society was free from the scourge of dogmas, 
sects and creeds, which do always "engender strife." When Mr. 
Emerson was ordained in 1743, the entire population of Hollis 
was aroused to the greatest .degree of excitement and interest. 
The religious, social, and moral nature of the whole people went 
out to grasp the heartstrings of this enthusiastic young student who 
was about to become their pastor ; and he too seemed to compre- 
hend the situation, as will be seen by the following, which is a part 
of his answer to the call extended to him. "I have taken that im- • 
portant matter into the most close consideration, and have asked 
the best advice, and am, after many and great difficulties in the 
way, come to this conclusion, viz : If you will fulfill your promise as 
to the four hundred pound settlement, in old tenor, only that the 
one part of it be in forty acres of good land near and convenient to 
the meeting house, firmly and forever conveyed to me, the other 



20 

part to be paid in bills of public credit, within one year from the 
date of this answer ; and that for my yearly salary you give me 
such a certain sum of bills of credit, yearly, as shall be equal to 
one hundred and fifty ounces of coined silver, which is the sum you 
propose, together with thirty cords of wood, cord wood length, de- 
livered at my door, and after your parish town or district shall, by 
the providence of God be increased to the number of one hundred 
families, (and not desired or expected by me until then,) jou make 
addition to my yearly salary of five ounces of silver per year, until 
the same shall be equal to two hundred ounces of coined silver, 
there to abide and be no more, which is equal to seventy pounds of the 
Massachusetts last emission, always expecting the thirty cords of 
wood, and that these several sums or sum be continued to me so 
long as I remain a gospel minister over you, always and in an espec- 
ial manner expecting that you will be helpers together with me, by 
prayer. Now if these before mentioned conditions be freely and vol- 
untarily acted upon and secured to me as you promised in the call, 
then I as freely and fully accept of the call and subscribe myself 
yours to use in the gospel ministry during life." 

(Signed) DANIEL EMERSON. 

Dunstable, West Precinct, Mar. 4, 1743. 

There were thirty-seven of the voters and tax-payers of the pre- 
cinct, who bound themselves in the penal sum of one hundred pounds 
each, that the terms mentioned in this answer to the call should be 
faithfully complied with. Among the names of the signers of this 
bond are found those of James McDonald and Joseph McDonald. 
The preliminaries of the settlement of this man show that both par- 
ties intended to have a perfect understanding. Nothing was to 
come in and disturb the harmony of their undertaking. Besides 
he was to become theirs "to use in the gospel ministry '/o/- life.'' 
From this answer of Mr. Emerson much may be learned. It shows 
that he not only intended to enter upon the discharge of his duties 
as spiritual adviser of this people in good faith, that he was not 
pnly to be their gospel minister during his life ; but it also proves 



21 

that he was possessed of a good share of common sense and " world- 
ly wisdom." The first public building erected in this town was a 
pound. It was built of logs twenty-live feet square and it stood 
near where the post office now stands. This was in 1770. In 
1783 another pound, thiriy feet square, was built near the same 
place. One of the greatest public trials the town had, was the 
building of the bridges across the Nissitissit Kiver, especially the one 
at the mouth of Tanapus pond. As early as 17G0 the town of Hol- 
lis "voted to let out the road to be done, beginning at the north 
side of Pout pond* brook on the McDonald road to the Mile Slip 
and a bridge to be built over Douglas brookf so called, and a 
bridge over the mouth of the pond." Take notice that this was 
twenty years after the McDonalds settled over on yonder hill. But 
notwithstanding this vote the bridge was not built at that time. In 
1771 the town ofRaby "voted to build a bridge over the river at 
the pond and chose Isaac Shattuck, Alexander Mcintosh, and James 
Campbell a committee to see the work done," Also voted at the 
same time " to have the bridge completed by the last day of June 
next." This looked like business. The object was then accom- 
plished. It will be seen that there were settlements in this tovvn 
about thirty years before the town was able to build this bridge. 
Owing to the scanty means of the people the two other V)ridges be- 
low this on the river were not made till several years later. The 
town of Hollis voted in 1760 "to give forty shillings, sterling 
money, to any Hollis man for every wolf he shall kill the present 
year." This shows that this disagreeable quadruped had sometime 
been very annoying to the settlers, but was then almost extinct. 
Let us consider further the condition of the people duriug this pe- 
riod. Their simple food consisted of the produce of the farm and 
garden. Salt beef and pork with the few vegetables they had, con- 
stituted the usual dinner. Potatoes:}., bean porridge, or brown bread

and milk formed their morning and evening meals. Fresh meat they 
had occasionally. Sometimes it was with great difficulty that they 
could get salt to preserve and season their meat. The music at 
their surprise parties was the music of the spinning wheel to which 
both mothers and daughters kept time with their hand cards. — 
There were no drones in this society, no hired help, no consump- 
tive young ladies who expected that their fathers' wealth would be 
a passport to speedy matrimony. Their looms and their needles fur- 
nished the fabric from which the clothing of both sexes was made. 
Wool and flax were converted by hand into garments for the old 
and the young. " The Bible, the Psalter and a few religious books 
made up their entire reading matter. Their means of locomotion 
were the ox cart, or the back of a horse furnished with saddle and 
pillion, and calculated to carry at a slow pace three or four persons." 
Limited in their pecuniary means, with heavy, awkward todls, with- 
out machinery, with no prospect of an improvement in their condi- 
tion, the wrathful war-cloud of the revolution hanging over their 
heads, they conformed to their condition with an unwavering faith 
in the God of their fathers. One hundred years ago there were in 
the territory now called Brookline about thirty-five voters, some 
eight or nine of which belonged in the *" Mile Slip." The subject 
of forming a new town was agitated, and after a friendly understand- 
ing by Hollis and all parties interested, on the thirtieth day of 
March, 1769, the town of Raby was incorporated. The town was 
called Raby from its fancied resemblance to Raby in Durham coun- 
ty, England. "The river Tees takes a southeastern direction, sim- 
ilar to the Nissitissit, running at the base of prominent hills and 
emptying into the North sea. '• The magnificent Baronial Castle of 
Raby covers an acre of ground. It was one of the earliest seats of 
the Neville family. In one of its great halls seven hundred Knights- 
all riitainers of that powerful family, are said to have feasted at one 
time." The town is now the seat of the Duke of Cleveland, or his

23 

heirs. The next year after the incorporation of Raby, the town 
voted to raise money for the "support of the gospel." For. several 
years the sums raised for preaching and schooling were the same. 
In 1775 the town record shows, that James Campbell and James 
Badger were chosen "as a committee to agree with the priest." 
This particular language is noticed because one of the conditions of 
the chai'ters for the towns at that time was that the grantees of 
townships should each " settle a learned orthodox minister." In 
J 781 the town voted to hire the Rev. Mr. Houston to preach. This 
is the first instance where the name of the minister is found in the 
town Records. The following language we find in the Record of 
1791. " Voted and chose Esq. Shannon, Capt. James Campbell, 
and Benjamin Farley, a committee to hire some suitable person to 
preach out the money that was voted for preaching, and it is the 
mind of this town that said committee give the Rev. John Wyeth 
offer of preaching out said money ; and further, that said committee 
be empowered to agree with some suitable person to board said 
preacher and his horse, during the time that he shall be preaching 
here." Here we find the word preacher. For the next year or 
two, a reverend gentleman by the name of Hall acted here in the 
double capacity of minister and school master. There are now 
those among the living, who enjoyed the moral, intollectural and 
spiritual teachings of this man. It is to be regretted that so little 
is known of the clergymen who ministered here from 1709 to 1791 
a period of twenty-two years. They taught and superintended the 
schools. They joined i*i wedlock the rustic yeomanry from which 
we are descended. They suggested consolations at the bed side of 
the sick and dying. They offered the last said prayer at the "house 
of mourning" and pointed the way to that celestial Redeemer who 
i' brought life and immortality to light," and although their names do 
not appear in your records, their hopes were undoubtedly that they 
would be written in the "great Hook of Life." On the 7th of De- 
cember, 1796, the town voted unanimously to give the Rev. Lemuel 
Wadsworth a call "to settle as a gospel minister." He had preach- 



24 

ed here quite a mimber of times, and his services were very accept- 
able to the church and people. A committee was appointed to ar- 
range his settlement which was mutually agreed upon between him 
and them without any written correspondence. The conditions of 
his settlement were that he should receive one hundred and fifty 
pounds as a settlement to be paid in three installments, sixty pounds 
as an annual salary for three years, and seventy pounds after that 
time. The meeting house which had been in process of prection 
for a period of two years was then about completed. When* we 
consider the poverty of the^e men who erected this meeting house, 
many of whom lived in log houses themselves ; scarcely able to sup- 
port their families, we are forcibly remyided of the sacrifices they 
were ready to make that they might be able to enjoy the preaching of 
the gospel. On the Uth'of Oct., 1797, Mr.Wadsworth was ordain- 
ed. Tjie town voted on the 28th of August previous '-that Mr. Asher 
Spaulding provide for the council at the ordination in the following 
manner, that is for the supper sixteen cents each on said ordination 
day, and for all other meals seventeen cents each, and for horses 
eleven cents each, and for all the liquors, lemons and sugar at the 
common retail price." By this vote we learn that the good people 
of the town and also the ecclesiastical council were not only men 
who looked forward to good society, but that they were men also 
fond of good cheer. They could afford to conform to this old Eng- 
lish custom for this time. They were about to enjoy a new meet- 
ing house and an ordained minister. Besides some of them re- 
membered that at Mr. Emerson's ordination in Dunstable West 

• • • t 

Precinct, now Hollis, that the council at that time was entertained 
at the expense to the parish of thirty-five pounds, eighteen shillings. 
From this amount it is fairly to be presumed that this council was 
also quite •' spiritually minded." Mr. Wadsworth was a native of 
Stoughton, Mass., born in 1769, graduated at Brown University in 
1793, and died November 25th. 1817, aged forty-eight. On the 
10 th of March, 1818, the town "voted to erect a tombstone over 
the grave of the Rev. Lemuel Wadsworth" and chose Eli Sawtelle, 



25 

Eleaser Gilson, and Benjamin Shattuck a committee to accomplish 
the object. The committee performed this duty in a very credita- 
ble manner. Agreeably to the very letter and spirit of the vote of 
the town, they laid a finished oblong, square block of granite over 
his grave, resting upon which they placed a simple slab of slate, 
on which is engraved the place and date of his birth and the time 
of his ordination and death. Fit monument for an honest man whose 
integrity of character and exemplary virtues will outlive this gran- 
itic structure erected to his memory. Their grief was too deep to 
attempt anything like an epitaph. He was not the minister of a 
sector a favored lew; The whole town wept at his grave, and in 
justice let it be recorded, that he sustained a piety unalloyed with fa- 
naticism, a religion without bigotry and a character above reproach, 
Since that time the Orthodox Society have had several ministers, 
four of whom were regularly ordained. The orthodox church had 
at its organization in 1795, 15 members. The names ot these 
church members were, Benjamin Farley, Ezekiel Proctor, Joshua 
Seaver, Clark Brown, Ephraim Sawtelle, Eleazer Gilson, Joshua 
Smith, Joseph Emerson, Samuel Farley, Hannah Shattuck, Abigail 
Sawtelle, Hannah Gilson, and Lydia Emerson. This church now 
has sixty members. The Methodist Episcopal Church was estab- 
lished in 1852, with eleven members. It now has foi'ty communi- 
cants. At the commencement of tiie Revolutionary war Raby had 
forty-six ratable polls and about one hundred and seventy-five in- 
habitants. Raby was classed with Mason in forming a constituency 
for representation and consequently furnished soldiers for the war 
in a quota connected with that town. Raby chose its committee of 
safety in 1775 and "voted to act according to the advice of Con- 
gress." The state committee of safety reported eighty-six males 
between sixteen and sixty years of age in Mason and Raby. Tliis 
town shared the usual excitement of those times. In 1777, the town 
"chose William Spaulding, Swallow Tucker and Isaac Shattuck a 
committee to settle and see what every man has done in the town 
of Raby since Concord fight." Thus it seems that every man was 
4 



26 

looked after during this great struggle for constitutional liberty. 
The records of Mason and Raby, and the state records show that 
these towns furnished one hundred and fifty-three men for the land 
and naval service of the government, during the Revolution, fifty- 
seven of which were from Ral)y. These men went at different times 
and in numbers not sufficient to constitute a company. Some of 
these soldiers were under the gallant Col. Scammel. Some of them 
were with Washington at Cambridge and in New York. Three of 
them were with Stark at Bennington, and seven of them were at. 
Ticonderoga. The patriotism of this soldiery, scantil} fed and bad- 
ly clothed, like all others who helped to gain our independence, 
is almost without a parallel in history, and it may be said with 
commendable pride that Raby did its whole duty in the consumma- 
tion of that great result wliich sent a thrill of pleasure to the heart 
of every lover of freedom throughout the world. The nations of 
Europe were struck with amazement when the doctrine of "the di- 
vine right of kings" was proved to be a fallacy. Monarchs trem- 
bled in their capitals and despotism read its doom in our success, 
like Belshazzar in the hand-writing on the wall. Liberty under the 
restraint of law, the idea of Samuel Adams, of Jefferson, Otis, 
Franklin and La Fayette was forever to be enjayed by this great 
continent. The first mill in town, as before stated, was built by 
Jasher Wyman, near where Ball & Smith's mill now stands. The 
next mill, erected and owned by Benjamin Brooks, stood on the north 
side of the river, on land now flowed by the Bailey mill-pond. The 
ruins of the old dam and one of the walls on which the building 
stood are still plainly to be seen. What might have been mill num- 
ber three, occupied a position near where the Bailey new mill now 
• stands. It was the intentionofthe proprietor to drive this mill by 
water drawn in a canal from Tanapus pond. The engineering how- 
ever was bad. The mill was placed too high. The water would not 
run up hill to accommodate any man. The civil engineer who lo- 
cated this mill undoubtedly understood pyrotechnics better than hy- 
draulics. How much it is to be regretted that he could not have 



27 

been a cotemporary with the great General who sent the powder 
ship against "Fort Fisher!" What the result of talent thus com- 
bined might have been, we shall never know. It was afterwards 
lowered down and operated successfully by Samuel Brown and his 
successors. In 1781, Benjamin Shattuck, grand-father of Alpheus 
Shattuck of this town, came from Groton and located where J. H. 
Hall's mills now are. He bought the land of " Esq. Blanchard," of 
Amherst. The trade was made in the spring when the streams 
were full and the travelling bad. Blanchard and Shattuck trotted 
out their steeds on a reconiioisance for the purpose of establishing 
boundaries. The bargain was that Shattuck should have one hun- 
dred and sixty acres of land for which he was to pay three hundi'ed 
dollars in silvc^-, all in Spanish Pistareens. They went northerly 
over about the same ground now used for the road from the school- 
house in ihat district to Milford. Blanchard for fear of getting his 
" black kids " soiled and his knee-buckles tarnished, kept a good 
distance from the stream. They rode on about a mile up the hill 
to a place where they established the northeast corner of the prem- 
ises. They then agreed on a certain land mark which they could 
see on the opposite side of the stream for the northwest corner of 
this 160 acre lot. The corners were all agreed upon without any 
measurement of lines. Alter Shattuck paid his coined silver and 
obtained his title he had a survey of the lot made and found that 
he had bought some more than five hundred acres. Tims it will 
be seen that the Plebian rather outwitted the Patrician. Shattuck 
erected a mill on this lot on the same site where the mill now 
stands, and built a bridge in the highway below the same. The 
records of the town show that he was exempted from taxation for 
a number of years in consideration of his building and keeping this 
bridge in repair. These were the first mills built here. This 
place had been settled more than thirty years before there was any 
grist mill in town. The people here carried what corn they had 
to Pepperell or sometimes to Townsend, on their shoulders, to be 
ground. The mills in those days were more liable to be out of 



28 

order than they are at present. It is said that at that time a man 
by the name of Russell took a bushel of grain on his shoulder to • 
Pepperell to be ground. On arriving at the mill he found that it 
was being repaired and that he could not get his corn ground, lie 
then started for Townsend where he had no better success. Should- 
ering his bag and quickening his step he arrived home near night- 
fall, when he went to the house of Isaac Shattuck, who lived on 
what was lately the town farm, where he borrowed a large cannon 
ball with which he ground a part of his grist which soon constitut- 
ed the healthy supper both for himself and his hungry children, — 
Lumber mills have been made in twelve different places in this town. 
A sash and blind shop and quite an extensive tannery were once 
opeced and operated by the Itaileys. Cousidcrabk lumber has 
been sold and carried out of the place for building purposes. Coop- 
ering, which has been carried on here lor more than eighty years 
was at first confined to hard wood split staves and heads. All the 
work was done by hand. Lately the pine forests have disappeared 
from our hill sides and that timber is now extensively used in this 
lucrative business. Machinery does most of the work. To this 
source of thrift and wealth, we may trace much of the prosperity 
of the town. In the history of our schools there is nothing remark- 
able. It is a noticeable fact that the town records from our incorpo- 
ration up to 1800, are well written and generally the words are 
spelled correctly. The penmanship of some of the earliest town 
clerks, of James Badger, Alexander Mcintosh, Randall McDonald 
and others, will compare favorably with that of more recent dates. 
Thus we find men who in their youth attended school only three or 
four weeks in a year, and some of them none at all, competent to 
serve as Selectmen and town clerks. We must not infer from this 
however, that they were not diligent scholars. Their hours of 
study were out of school, during the winter evenings in the chim- 
ney corner, where, like Benjamin Franklin, by their pine knot light, 
they solved their own problems and formed their' own conclusions. 
They felt that prominent among the forces "which help a man .to 



29 

help himself," "which pervading the body politic like leaven, uplift 
whole masses of men and women, giving them that divine courage, 
which makes each in his or her own confidence the peer of every- 
body else, is education !" This truly and essentially popular force 
comes to all alike, to the poor as well as the rich and says to each, 
"you too are an equal child of this great republic." Education 
alone, of the most thorough character, extended by a full equip- 
ment of intellectual armor to every youth in our broad land, can 
make the trial of self government a complete success. This is the 
secret influence gaining a foothold in tlie Old World, which rend- 
ers insecure the permanence of thrones and dynasties. " The last 
refuge of despotism is with that people whose faculties are dor- 
mant and untrained, and upon whom Ignorance settles her inheri- 
tance. To the careless observer, the history of a year in the life of 
our schools would seem only a repetition of previous years. It would 
seem the same steady current bearing on its surface lisping child- 
hood, blooming into manhood or womanhood. It is more than all 
this. It is the accumulation of all the past, the combined forces of 
intellect trained by untiring discipline, silently and faithfully work- 
ing out the mission of civilization for the oncoming generations !" 
But with all our boasted privileges of schools, reading rooms, lec- 
ture rooms, libraries, academies', collegies and churches, the stand- 
ard of morality is no higher than it was in the days of the fathers. 
There is a great disparity between the advancement of the intellectu- 
al and the moral. The intellect has been trained at the expense of 
the moral principle. A proper balance of these two principles, 
cannot be found either in our business or professional men. The 
corruption of the politicians proves this proposition. The great 
struggle for wealth is the one interest to which all others submit, 
and riches grasping the long arm of the lever which moves fashion- 
able society, thrusts aside both truth and justice. Wealth is made 
a substitute for integrity of character, and honesty seems to be the 
exception instead of the rule, among those subject to great tempta- 
tion. When Andre was captured as a spy by three soldiers during 
the Revolutionary war, he tried to buy his liberty with gold. Ac- 



30 

complished, eloquent in the extreme, prepossessing above most men, 
he offered them his gold watch and his purse filled with guineas, 
only for his liberty. Yet the honesty of these men would not al- 
low them to be tempted, and they spurned the glittering bribe. 
Tiie brave resistance made by Major Anderson against fearful 
odds, when the first gun in the Rebellion was aimed at the devoted 
Fort Sumpter, will excite the admiration of mankind in all coming 
time. Patriotism ! Honesty ! Truth ! who can measure their 
worth ? A good character ! who can estimate its value ? Charac- 
ter ! Let the young man be aroused by the thought that there is 
no rock so firm, no fortress so strong, no panoply so impregnable 
as an honest man's honor. At the close of the Revolutionary war 
everything like business was prostrated. The currency was al- 
most worthless. Most of the New England people laying aside 
the implements of war returned to their pursuits in civil life in 
o'ood earnest. Not so with five or six wicked men in this vicinity 
three of whom belonged to Raby. They were thieves. One of 
them by the name of McDonald, the leader of the gang, was a per- 
fect terror to most every one. He belonged here, so that Raby re- 
ceived the maledictions for the crimes of the entire party. It was 
almost considered a disgrace for a man to own that he came Irom 
Raby. This was all owing to these " three ruffians." The other 
men of the place were of good reputation, worthy and honest. 
The dishonor which was brought upon the place by these three 
men was keenly felt by the good people of the town. About the 
time the excitement was at its height, McDonald died in prison, and 
another of the party left unexpectedly. 

The name of the town was altered by the state legislature from 
Raby to Brookline, in 1798, on petition of the prominent men of 
the town, who seemed to forget that '• a rose by any other name 
would smell as sweet." Out of respect for the Browns, the Mcln- 
tosnes, the Austins and others who came from the neighborhood of 
Raby in England, and named this place, which reminded them ot 
the scenery they had left in the father land, the name of the town 
should not have been changed. 



31 

The passion for fun and amusement with our fathers showed it- 
self at the apple parings, the huskings, the log rollings and the 
raisings. Then the new cider was passed around. Here were the 
wrestling matches, tlie trials in running and jumping. Then the 
smoking Indian puddings, the great loaves of brown bread, the 
pork and beans, the roast lamb from the same spacious oven, fol- 
lowed by the golden pumpkin pies, made a feast, mingled with the 
jokes, the plays, the merriment and pealing laughter, which gave a 
zest to every enjoyment. Tlie aged people of this audience re- 
member all this. Aye more ! The father and mother, the brother 
and sister long*since gone, come before you, and what would you 
not give to renew but for once, these olden times ? But these 
scenes cannot be renewed and we must all soon follow them far 
beyond this mortal life, " into the dim and shadowy past, and be 
known here among our native hills only as a memory, more and 
more indistinct until it shall vanish clean out." The first painted 
building in town was the school house near the pond. This build- 
ing was finally burned. With three exceptions the dwelling houses 
in town were all unpainted till after the temperance movement 
in New England in 1826. This reformation did much for Brook- 
line. A large portion of the surplus money of our citizens previ- 
ous to this was expended for ardent spirits. The same is true in 
regard to the towns around us. -The use of alcoholic drinks was 
common. It was at this time that men began to see the foolishness 
of tippling, that the daily use of liquor was not only injurious but 
wicked, and one by one they laid aside their kegs, decanters and 
drinking cups. The jieople read more and thought more than usu- 
al. The change was soon apparent in the neat and tidy appear- 
ance of the farm houses. Comfort and good taste seemed to take 
the place of negligence and carelessness. , In 1839 when the or- 
thodox meeting house* was built, the names of five persons who 

* The dedication of this house and the ordination of Rev. Daniel Goodwin, occurred 
the same day. Tlie bell on this edilice was once used on a Spanish convent. Afterwards 
it was hung on the third meeting house erected in Dunstable, >i. II., in 18r2. This house 
stood about half a mile northerly from the site of the lirst meeting house in "Old Dunsta- 
ble," near the state line. Tliis church building was taken down in lS-15, when money was 
raised by sub.scrii)tiou and the bell was bought. 



32 

assisted in building that church edifice might be mentioned, who 
had as much available wealth as was possessed by the entire 
town, when the old meeting house was erected on the hill. The 
events of the late rebellion are so recent that they are undoubtedly 
indelibly impressed upon the minds of most persons within the 
hearing of my voice. The eyes of those who lost their dear friends 
during this struggle for our very national existence, are scarcely 
yet dry. Brookline met the responsibility presented by this crisis 
in the spirit of commendable patriotism. Sixty-seven men exposing 
themselves to the trials and dangers of war, went forth at the call 
of their country, to assist in stemming back the tide of a rebellioD, 
rampant in fifteen states, which threatened at one time to wrest 
from us the capitol of the nation. Most of these were young men, 
some with families, some just' married, and all filled with the 
strength and vigor of resolute manhood. Going forth to the con- 
flict with a firm 'reliance in the justice of their cause, they endured 
the hardships and suflerings incident to their duties, and they met 
the enemy on the battle fields with a bravery worthy of the highest 
praise. And although our town did not give to the country any 
army or naval ofiicers of distinction, yet had it not been for our 
townsmen and hundreds of thousands of others like them from other 
places, who offered their bosoms to the shafts of battle in many en- 
gagements, no officer or general would have been victorious. 
Thanks to the soldiery of the nation. Of these sixty-seven men. 
fourteen lost their lives, either by the bullet, by disease or by starva- 
tion in rebel prisons. Only one man* survived the treatment of 
prison life at Andersonville. He furnishes the information that he 
and as many more prisoners as could stand up in a common freight 
box car, were put on board at Petersburg, Virginia, and remained 
in that position eight days ; meanwhile they only had water and a 
little nourishment at four different times during that awful railroad 
journey to Andersonville, that great human or rather inhuman 
slaughter house. What sufferings were experienced iii this dismal

enclosure, within which were about forty thousand of our soldiers 
on thirty acres of land ! Our informant has seen one hundred and 
twenty-eight dead soldiers piled up at one time near the gates 
ready to be removed as soon as two mule teams could do the work. 
We turn from this heart sickening spectacle hopeful that in all fu- 
ture time there will never be a repetition of this cruel and fiendish 
rebellion. The bodies of some of our fallen sons have been re- 
turned to us, and buried with their ancestors. Others rest far 
away, never to mingle with kindred dust. We carefully treasure 
their memories, and when decoration day com.es around, and those 
of their comrades, who survived the conflict, march on to the strains 
of softened music, with solemn tread, to decorate the graves of our 
fallen heroes, who are buried in their own dear native land, our 
hearts go forth to the far off, lonely sepulchres, in the mournful 
wilderness, on the bleak hill sides, to the surroundings of Salis- 
bury prison, to New Orleans and Port Hudson, and there in imag- 
ination we decorate with our affections the graves of our husbands 
and brothers, our sons and nephews. Happily for those they leave 
behind, many winters and summers will succeed each other, and 
the flowers that grow spontaneously upon their graves will bloom 
and wither for many seasons, before either their persons or their 
patriotism will be forgotten. 

The abstract of the history of Brookline thus imperfectly pre- 
sented would be incomplete should we not for a moment consider 
our present condition. Striking is the contrast between the pov- 
erty of our ancestors and the comfortable condition of our citizens 
at present. The early settlers and their immediate successors 
have already been described. In 1821 ( forty-eight years ago, ) 
there were^ only two or three men in town who were worth as 
much as five thousand dollars. Now we have over fortv tax- 
payers who are worth five thousand dollars and upwards. We 
have no rich men, yet the tax of one of our citizens assessed this 
current year is more than was the whole amount of tax assessed on 
all the inhabitants of the town in 1821. Our business men and 
5 



34 

our people generally are prosperous. The domestic animals of a 
town afford a good criterion whereby to judge of its wealth. Brook- 
line can muster as many good pairs of oxen and horses as any town 
of its size in the State. One peculiarity of this town is the great 
interest which all its voters take in the success of their political 
parties. For several weeks before the election politics is the only 
business. Each party thinks of nothing but victory at the polls, - 
and sometimes in the heat and zeal of a campaign, money has been 
used by both parties to insure success. This is wrong. It can be 
said with pleasure that Brooklinc has never sent out any great men 
in the character of politicians who are often ready to receive bribes, 
sign the bail bond of traitors and gather up anything that may fall 
from the public crib. Benjamin ShattuCk, collector for this district 
from 1812 to 1815, was the only United States officer, except the 
post-masters, we ever had. Brookline has reserved for itself and 
given to other places men who are real producers, ingenious me- 
chanics, competent engineers, and successful business men who are 
an honor to any community. Such are the men whom we see here 
to-day. 

In celebrating this day let us commemorate the fathers. 
We should be mindful of their laborious poverty. Their toils 
have resulted in our comforts. On all sides are the proofs 
of their wisdom, their foresight, their self sacrificing exertions 
and cares for their children. Here are the civil and relig- 
ious institutions which they founded. Here are the roads 
they made. Here are the cultivated fields rich with grain and 
fruits, where once stood the forests removed by their industry. 
Here are the foundations of their houses, and here too are their 
humble graves. May the places ever remain sacred where they 
repose ! 

It must be the duty of your historian to describe more 
fully their virtues, to trace their genealogies, and give you 
the characteristics of the prominent families which have 
lived and loved, hoped and died, during these hundred years 



35 

that have just closed. He must tell you of the Farleys,* the Doug- 
lasses, the Seavers, the Halls, the Tuckers, the Shattucks and others 
once prominent in our native town. 

And now standing here on the horizon between the two centu- 
ries, one of which, with all its great events has been added 
to the mighty past, the other pressing on ready to receive 
our first uplifted footstep, the thoughts presented are almost 
bewildering. Looking back through the vista of years we 
behold incidents which are equally interesting either to the citi- 
zen or the scholar. This year is the centeunary of the steam en- 
gine. This is also the hundredth year since a patent was granted 
to the spinning jenny. Dartmouth college celebrated her centenni- 
al this year. Wellington, Humboldt and Cuvier were born just one 
hundred years ago. In 1769 Samuel Adams and his compatriots 
made their celebrated appeal to the world. The same year Fred- 
erick the Great was laying the foundation of the Prussian Kingdom, 
the nations of Europe having combined to crush him. In 1769 
Warren Hastings, the most remarkable man of his time, made his 
second voyage to Bengal, in the interest of that East India Company, 
where nearly one hundred millions of people acknowledged him as 
the Governor General of British India. At the same time that 
the sword of Washington was drawn to ward off British oppression 
in this western world, Hastings with all the cunning of a Jesuit was 
remorselessly robbing the Sepoys of the rich spoils of the east. 
1769 also gave to France the first Napoleon who was emphatically 
and "par excellance" the i/reat man of modern history. One hun- 

* The Parleys are of English descent. Samuel Farley married Hannah Brown, ( both of 
Dunstable,) in 1744. He was a man of culture and influence. He settled on the jjlace where 
Isaac Sawtelle died. The people selected him an agent to procure the charter lor the 
town of Raby at the time of its incorporation. He died Nov. 23, 1797, m the eightieth year 
of his age. 

Benjamin Farley, son of the aforesaid Samuel and Hannah, was born March 10th, 1756. 
He inherited the good sense atd sound judgment of his father. He was the representative 
of the town in the legistature when the name of tlie town was changed. He opened the 
first store ever in town, in the buiiding now a dwelling house, on tlie same spot wliere his 
father settled. Twoof his sous, Benjamin M. Farley, a graduate of Harvard in 1804, and 
George F. Farley a graduate of Harvard in IsiC, became distinguislu-d iu the legal profes- 
sion. His daughter, Mrs. Eaton, of Hollis, is Ihe only one of that gi'ueratioii now liv;i;j;-. 
Two of his grandsons, one a substantial farmer in Lunenburg, .Mass., aiiuther a business 
man now residing in Peabody, Mass., and their sons, it any, are all the male descendants 
that remain of this influential family. 



36 

dred years ago all the textile fabrics in use were spun by human 
hands. Te-day the spinning jenny performs the same work with 
the gi'eatest exactness. In 1769 the fartherest western outpost of 
civilization was that of Daniel Boone of Kentucky. No white man 
had then ever crossed the continent in this latitude. To-day the 
steam engine wafts the commerce and refinement of New England 
from the port of Boston onward through the grain region of North 
America and over the mountain passes, in one continuous flight to 
the fartherest verge of the Pacific slope. How mighty the influence 
of these inventions ! of these men ! 

The events of the past are before us. They are historic. 
A hundred years have gone. It is in vain for us to enquire 
what may be the events that shall rise in the great wheel of 
human life before the coming century will close. Of the 
discoveries, the inventions, the great minds that will exist we 
can know nothing. And when a far distant generation shall 
next come to this elegant grotto to celebrate this day not one of us 
will be found among the living. Then as now the morning sun will 
kiss the foliage on these hill tops ; the evening wind will ripple the 
waters of the beautiful Muscatanapus ; the Nissitisset will journey on 
to the sea ; but not the least relic of all that our hands have made 
or our hearts have loved will remain as we now behold it. 

These solemn thoughts suggest the necessity of performing the 
remaining duties of life in a continued spirit of love and kindness to 
each other j that we may exercise all the noble faculties which God 
has given us to transmit to our children unimpaired the great inher- 
itance of truth, intelligence, justice, faith and liberty.
